My son was way too young when that babysitter told him "the truth". If she hadn't wanted to lie to my kids, she should have said "You should talk to your mother about that". After saying there was no Santa, she said something like "and your mom is the tooth fairy too". My son was very concerned when he asked me "So you leave us here alone at night and go collect teeth?" and "Will you take me to the house of teeth that you're building with all those teeth?" He thought she meant that I was the tooth fairy for the WHOLE WORLD! It was quite funny when I realized that's what he thought.
